The International Association of Women in
Radio
and
Television (IAWRT), founded in 1951, is an international
organisation with a global membership of professional women
actively engaged in the production and management of
programmes in the electronic media or in fields closely

another.

About
FOKUS
The Forum for Women and Development is a
Norwegian resource centre on international women's issues. It
acts as an umbrella organisation for 66 women’s organisations
in Norway and coordinates their international solidarity
work. FOKUS administers funding from Norad, the Norwegian
Development Agency, and channels it through
member-organisations to women’s projects in Africa, Asia,
Latin- America and Eastern Europe. IAWRT Norway is a FOKUS
member and receives funding for its international network of
media women. This year FOKUS has been selected for the annual
national fundraising TV campaign. The theme is ”A world without
violence against women” and the money collected will be used
to support local projects in Africa, Asia, Latin-America and
Eastern Europe. IAWRT members have been invited to cooperate
with local NGOs and apply for funding for media-related
projects. For more information go to FOKUS
